DESCRIPTION & OPERATION

The cruise control system is electronically controlled and
vacuum actuated. System components include a control unit, actuator,
vacuum pump, cruise control switch, clutch pedal switch, cruise
indicator light, diode, inhibitor switch (A/T), stoplight switch,
vehicle speed sensor and A/T control unit.
The system also has self-diagnostic capability. When
self-diagnostic mode is activated, each switch and sensor is checked
for defects. Also when cruise control system has been canceled without
using a normal cancel method, a code will be set and stored in control
unit. Codes can be retrieved to help determine which circuit is
malfunctioning.

PRELIMINARY INSPECTION
Before performing TROUBLE SHOOTING steps, inspect linkage
assembly, actuator, cables and vacuum hoses. Ensure linkage and cables
move smoothly. Ensure cables do not have excessive slack or tension.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
NOTE: For further trouble shooting information, see CHECK RESULTS
CODES and SYMPTOM CHARTS. See Figs. 3-5.

SYSTEM CANCELS OR WILL NOT RESET AFTER CANCELLATION

1) Check trouble codes, see SELF-DIAGNOSTICS under DIAGNOSIS
& TESTING. If no trouble codes are stored, check to see if cruise
control can be set.
2) If cruise control can be set, system may have canceled
because of driving on steep hills or loose wiring connection. If
cruise control still cannot be set, perform SYSTEM INPUT TESTS under
DIAGNOSIS & TESTING.
3) If SYSTEM INPUT TESTS check okay, check actuator circuit.
See TEST NO. 6 under CIRCUIT TESTS. If SYSTEM INPUT TESTS do not check
okay, see INPUT CODES

ADJUSTMENTS

CRUISE CONTROL CABLE

1) Ensure cruise control and accelerator cables are free of
bends and folds. Remove actuator cover. Loosen lock nut and adjusting
nut "A" to free cables. See Fig. 1. Tighten adjusting nut "A" in
direction that will reduce inner cable free play.
2) Just when intermediate link "A" touches intermediate link
"B", back off adjustment nut "A" one turn. Inner cable free play
should be 0-.04" (0-1 mm). Tighten lock nut. Press accelerator pedal
to ensure intermediate links "A" and "B" operate smoothly. Install
actuator cover.

DIAGNOSIS & TESTING

CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH FUNCTION TEST

NOTE: If vehicle speed decreases approximately 9 MPH below set
speed, set speed will be canceled.

1) Cruise control switch is mounted on steering column. To

operate cruise control system, turn ignition on. Turn main cruise
control switch to ON position. Ensure switch indicator light comes on.

NOTE: Speed will not set beyond system limit of 90 MPH.

2) Drive vehicle between 25 and 90 MPH. Move cruise control

switch lever to SET position. Vehicle speed should stay at set speed.
To increase set speed, turn control switch to Resume (RES) position
and hold until new set speed is reached.
3) To lower set speed, press SET button and hold until new
set speed is reached. To return to set speed after cancellation, move
RES switch from ON to OFF position. Vehicle speed should return to
previous setting before cancellation. Set speed should cancel when any
of the following occur:

* Brake pedal is pressed.

* Cancel switch is activated.
 * Transmission is shifted to Neutral or Park.
* Cruise control main switch is turned to OFF position.
* Ignition switch is turned to OFF position.

SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
1) Self-diagnostics should be performed when cruise control
cancels without the driver using normal cancel modes. Data Link
Connector (DLC) is located on right side of fuse box.
2) Use analog voltmeter or Scan Tester (MB991341) for code
retrieval. Use scan tester according to operating instructions
provided with tester. Connect leads of analog voltmeter between cruise
control terminal and ground terminal of DLC. See Fig. 2.

3) Read voltmeter needle sweeps to determine trouble code.

Once trouble codes have been displayed, see SELF-DIAGNOSTIC CODES to
find appropriate circuit test.
4) To clear trouble codes, either disconnect battery cable or
turn ignition on. Turn main cruise control switch and set switch to ON
position, and, within one second, turn RES switch to ON position.
5) Depress brake pedal and hold cruise control switch in ON
position for more than 5 seconds. Verify codes are cleared.

SYSTEM INPUT TESTS

 1) System input tests should be performed if no trouble codes
are stored when performing SELF-DIAGNOSTICS. System input tests cycle
each cruise control switch and sensor.
2) Use analog voltmeter or Scan Tester (MB991341) for system
input check. Use scan tester according to operating instructions
provided with tester. Connect leads of analog voltmeter between cruise
control terminal and ground terminal of DLC. See Fig. 2.
3) When using scan tester or voltmeter, turn ignition on and
main cruise control switch to OFF position. Select a cruise control
circuit on scan tester menu. Turn SET switch to ON position. Turn main
cruise control switch to ON position.
4) Within one second, turn RES switch to ON position. Select
input test code from scan tester menu. Perform each input test
according to INPUT CODES. Read codes.
5) Each code is displayed in order of priority. If no codes
are displayed, control unit, SET switch or RES switch may be at fault.

CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH TESTS

 CANCEL, SET & RES Switches
1) Remove air bag module. See AIR BAG MODULE under REMOVAL &
INSTALLATION. Disconnect cruise control switch 2-pin connector. With
cruise control switch in CANCEL position, continuity should be present
between terminals.
2) With switch in RES position, 820 ohms should be present
between terminals. With switch in SET position, 2700 ohms should be
present between terminals. If switch does not test correctly, replace
cruise control switch.

PARK/NEUTRAL SWITCH TEST

Disconnect switch connector. Shift transaxle into Neutral and
Park positions. Continuity should be present between terminals No. 7
and 8. See Fig. 13. If continuity is not present, adjust P/N switch.
If switch is adjusted properly, replace switch.

VACUUM PUMP TEST

Remove vacuum pump connector. Resistance should be 50-60 ohms
between terminal No. 1 and terminals No. 2 and 3. See Fig. 9. Ensure
solenoid valve makes operating noise when battery voltage is applied
between terminal No. 1 and terminals No. 2 and 3. If solenoid valve
does not make noise, replace vacuum pump assembly.

ACTUATOR TEST
Remove actuator. Apply vacuum to actuator. Actuator linkage
holder should move more than 1.38" (35 mm). Actuator diaphragm should
hold vacuum. Replace actuator if actuator does not test correctly.

VEHICLE SPEED SENSOR TEST

1) Remove instrument cluster. See INSTRUMENT CLUSTER under
REMOVAL & INSTALLATION. Check continuity between vehicle speed sensor
terminals. See Fig. 14.
2) Ensure continuity pulses on and off 4 times per revolution
of speedometer shaft connection. If continuity is not as specified,
replace sensor.

continuity should be present between terminals No. 1 (Blue/Red wire)
and No. 3 (Green wire). When brake pedal is released, continuity
should be present between terminals No. 2 (Green/Black wire) and No. 4
(Blue/White wire). Replace switch if it does not test correctly.

CLOSED THROTTLE POSITION SWITCH & THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR

TESTS

Throttle Position Sensor

No. 1 and 4 should be 3500-6500 ohms. Use an analog ohmmeter to
measure resistance between terminals No. 2 and 4.
2) Slowly open throttle valve to wide open throttle.
Resistance should change smoothly as throttle is opened. Replace
throttle position sensor if it does not test correctly.

Closed Throttle Position Switch (SOHC)

1) Disconnect throttle position sensor connector. Continuity
should be present between terminals No. 3 and 4 with accelerator pedal
released. Continuity should not be present with accelerator pedal
pressed.
2) If continuity is not present with accelerator released,
loosen throttle position sensor mounting screw. Turn throttle position
sensor completely clockwise. Recheck continuity. Replace throttle
position sensor if closed throttle position switch does not test
correctly.

Closed Throttle Position Switch (DOHC)

1) Disconnect throttle position sensor connector. Continuity
should be present between terminals No. 1 and 2 with accelerator pedal
released. Continuity should not be present with accelerator pedal
pressed.
2) If continuity is not present with accelerator released,
loosen throttle position sensor mounting screw. Turn throttle position
sensor completely clockwise. Recheck continuity. Replace throttle
position sensor if closed throttle position switch does not test
correctly.
